Be sure and ask for the name of the boat as none of the information that was sent to me listed the name of the boat. On the evening of the cruise I had a great deel of trouble finding our boat. I wrote a requested that they sen the name of the boat and I finally received it 15 minutes before sailing.

Glad We Chose This Cruise
We were looking for something relaxing to do in the evening, and this was exactly that. The city looks completely different from the water at night, and the views were honestly the best part. The entertainment was fun, everyone seemed to be having a good time, and the whole evening had a really nice atmosphere. It ended up being one of our favourite nights in Istanbul. Definitely worth booking.

The dinner cruise was one of the best experiences I had in Istanbul. From the moment we boarded, the staff welcomed us warmly and showed us to our table. The food was fresh and delicious, and the night view of the Bosphorus with all the bridges and palaces illuminated was absolutely breathtaking.
